Ohio State's regular season ended Friday night in Bloomington, Ind., with an 80-78 double-overtime victory over Indiana that fittingly capped a Big Ten season in which teams dealt with a condensed schedule.
In an effort to play the 2017-18 conference tournament at Madison Square Garden, the Big Ten moved its tournament up a week, which forced its 14 league members to play a compacted schedule that, on more than one occasion, gave teams just one day turnarounds.
On Friday, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany told Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune that the league would not pursue such a schedule again, admitting that the experiment did not go as planned.
